Train derailment closes Crain Avenue Bridge in Kent; no injuries reported as coal train jams under span

Bridge in Kent was closed Thursday afternoon after several cars of a 119-car long CSX Railroad coal train derailed under it, leaving tons of spilled coal and crumpled train cars jammed under the bridge.

See Friday's record-Courier for more coverage.

This is from the Crain Avenue bridge -- I went over this bridge about 500 times in my life (mainly from 1985-89). The bridge was closed because the train struck and possibly damaged the bridge:

A friend of mine who lives down that way posted an extensive account, with photos, on her LiveJournal: http://goldiebug.livejournal.com/33893.html.

Still mostly sweet, but don't push your luck.

She knows her way around a camera pretty well! I love the second-to-last photo with the colorful berries against the snow and dull light.
